They should indite Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rummy any way... this is TREASON and a human rights violation. We (USA) will have NO right to criticize other nations as long as we have this blood on our hands. >100,000 Iraqis died due to their lies ! 4000 more Americans died and 10s of 1000s suffered life changing injuries, and cost us Trillions ! it's called TREASON !!

Regardless the WAR on terror - is warranted and should continue towards that all terrorist are eliminated

Nope.

"Terrorism" and "Terrorist" are so ill-defined and subjective that a "war" against either is in effect a license to exercise extraordinary powers in perpetuity: You're never going to eliminate "terrorism" itself, nor are you ever going to eliminate every last "terrorist" -- and so, the conditions that will end the "war" will never exist.

War powers granted to the executive are intended to be a temporary necessity in response to an existential threat to the country. The "War on Terror" removes the "temporary" part, in effect creating a permanent military democracy in which the "democracy" part is slowly subsumed by the constant materiel and security demands of an ever-increasing military (and those who profit from it) ...

or are saying that , to let terrorist kill and murder when ever they want ? ?

Your question presupposes the only alternative to our current strategy is to do nothing. I reject that supposition and suggest there are alternatives available that don't involve the endless extension of conventional military power abroad or the commensurate erosion of liberties at home ...

Quote:

Point being is that since terrorist are international , so therefor it is a global WAR.

And my point is that a WAR against "terrorism" is by definition (or rather, by the lack thereof) without end and poisonous to a democracy, and is therefore an unwarranted (not to mention self-defeating) response to the challenges posed by today's radical fringes.

You missed wide, carp. What six is saying is that a "war" of any kind against something that is so nebulous — so hard to define, almost mercury-like — is neither possible nor practical. The concept of victory is just that: a concept — an idea that has yet to be executed. Cockroaches have evolved and survived for millions of years. Even the most advanced technology has been unable to eradicate the species. Sure, that's a predictable and easy analogy for how we might view terrorists in general. But more so in terms of how to deal with them. Maybe a simpler metaphor is Whack-A-Mole.
